We solve the relativistic Klein--Gordon equation for a light particle gravitationally bound to a heavy central mass, with the gravitational interaction prescribed by the metric of a spherically symmetric space-time. Metrics are considered…

We consider both the defocusing and focusing cubic nonlinear Klein--Gordon equations $$ u_{tt} - \Delta u + u \pm u^3 =0 $$ in two space dimensions for real-valued initial data $u(0)\in H^1_x$ and $u_t(0)\in L^2_x$. We show that in the…

We first consider the Klein-Gordon equation in the 6-dimensional space $M_{2,4}$ with signature $+ - - - - +$ and show how it reduces to the Stueckelberg equation in the 4-dimensional spacetime $M_{1,3}$. A field that satisfies the…

Space-time--time is a natural hybrid of Kaluza's five-dimensional geometry and Weyl's conformal space-time geometry. Translations along the secondary time dimension produce the electromagnetic gauge transformations of Kaluza--Klein theory…

We analyze the d'Alembert equation in the Goedel-type spacetimes with spherical and Lobachevsky sections (with sufficiently rapid rotation). By separating the $t$ and $x_3$ dependence we reduce the problem to a group-theoretical one. In the…

In this paper, we study the global well-posedness and scattering problem in the energy space for both focusing and defocusing the Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation in the spatial dimension $d \geq 3$. The main difficulties are the absence of an…
